159. Here's the thing.

"Here in this shell of a house
This house that is struggling to be
A beacon of light shining all through the night
So bright that the whole world could see

But now there's a chill in the room
Windows are starting to leak
Floorboards are starting to creak
And hope, hope may arrive
The house will survive
If only these walls could speak

Take care of this house
Keep it from harm
If bandits break in sound the alarm
Care for this house
Shine it by hand
And keep it so clean the glow can be seen all over the land

Be careful at night, check all the doors
If someone makes off with a dream, the dream will be yours
Take care of this house
Be always on call
For this house is the hope of us all

Beware of false smiles that lead you astray
When someone is telling you lies let truth lead the way
Take of this house
Be always on call
Care for this house
It's the hope of us all" *

Trump is a slimey, malignant maniacal narcissist, so much worse than Bernstein could have imagined, who exploits every opportunity to get what he wants. We saw him do this in New York since the late 70s. His power over people like Barr and his ability to neutralize the FEC puts him at great advantage. He is a rule breaker whose only joy is doing so in the open for all to see. Always has been. He protects himself with as many people as he needs from every corner of the planet. If I knew this, the Clintons must have known it as well.

So, I appreciate your examples of the road map to how we got where we are. I want a road map of how we get out of quicksand. The public needs to know how totally rigged he has made the levers of power and how the worst of the worst are now aligned in our govt to continue their gravy train til the planet gives up the ghost.
